I am new to the site but I was wondering if anyone has ever held or is willing to hold a crappie camp on Lake Conway? I would be more than willing to help in any way if anyone is interested. It all depends on my work schedule since I work only on weekends. I just need some advanced notice.
Where would everyone camp at on Lake Conway?
Closest public camp ground is at Toad Suck or is there one closer ?
Can Camp on Camp robinson Little Area. But it would be truely roughing it. No water, electricity, etc.... But would be fun though!
A little crowded down there too.
Probably be just as well off to do a spring camp on Greers
Cmj and I were talking about putting on a Fall camp on Conway this past year. But... the tornado hit Mayflower and damaged the facilities at the Camp Robinson SUA, so we scraped the plans. If anyone decides to do a camp on Conway, I would be interested in helping out. Conway is my home lake and there isn't a lake that I would rather be on. I live 5 minutes from the lake, so it would be convenient for me.
I agree. I think that Conway would be better suited for a smaller group in the Fall.Quote:

8^), Ive noticed same shirt, same backround, same goofy smile...... HEY I MAY BE ON TO SOMETHING HERE!!!!!!!!:popcorn
hey sarge if you spent as much time as CP you could learn to catch em to, really all about spending countless hours on the water and hes not afraid to get out there in the heat and fish from daylight to dark all summer , " crappie warrior " would be a better name!
A few more weeks and there will be lots of heros on Conway. DP
Yep Conway will heat up soon!
I would join a fall camp as long as I could follow Russ around for some teaching.
Spend enough time on the water and most guys will catch fish.:twocents Most guys don't realize the guys that catch fish regularly have spent thousands of hours perfecting skills and learning their home waters.
Glad I never catch any fish. I am still trying to get my time in before I start catching.
I think that is his lucky fish slaying shirt! I guarantee a banana has never been near it!Quote:

We could have a big fish contest and a shoot em up contest over at the range. A next Fall Fishing poles and Firearms camp may be the ticket. Fry up a mess of fresh crappie and skeets.
Never fished Greers. Always wanted to. Heard there may be a walleye there.
To me getting around from one area to another is more problem than catching fish! !!!!!
I you don't know the lake, the key is slow and steady. I see guys with $50,000 bass boats flying around the lake. I don't personally recommend doing that it a glass boat, but it's really not a problem in an aluminum boat. You just have to take your time and not get into a big hurry.Quote:

Why not do like a few of us did a few yrs ago. Meet at Gold Creek on a Saturday morning and fish. Then meet back up at the ramp and have lunch and chat. I fished with Dr Pepper that day because I didn't have a boat at the time. Now I can pay it forward and let a non-boater fish with me as I bought me a boat today. Now I have to decide what I want to do... Squirrel hunt with my dogs or go crappie fishing. Think I'll just do both.
I would be up for that but I work weekends and I can' t get free till after the new year. However, I am free Tue-Fri and I have room in my boat for a non-boater. Give me a little advance notice and I could get free on a Saturday in the future. I definitely need to go shoot some tree rats. I have not been in a long time. A combo crappie camp and squirrel shoot would be fun. A big bowl of squirrel dumplings and a plate of fried sounds good right now.
Hey man!! This thread made me think about that day. I got a little more sense now than to fish in 20 degree weather at night. Good hearing from you again. DPQuote:

I just thought they were smarter than me. :biggrinQuote:
